Simple Siomay Ayam Recipe
Ingredients:
- 200 grams boneless chicken (finely minced)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, and sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 clove garlic (grated)
- Chopped green onions (to taste)
- Grated carrot (for topping, to taste)
- Ready-made spring roll wrappers
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. This includes finely mincing the chicken and grating the garlic. Set everything aside for easy access.
-
Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced chicken, egg, salt, pepper, sugar, sesame oil, oyster sauce, cornstarch, grated garlic, and chopped green onions. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
-
Prepare the Spring Roll Wrappers: Lay out the spring roll wrappers on a clean surface. If they are frozen, make sure they are thawed and pliable before use.
-
Assemble the Siomay: Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto the center of each spring roll wrapper. Fold and tuck the edges of the wrapper around the filling, ensuring it is sealed properly.
-
Steam the Siomay: Arrange the wrapped siomay in a steamer basket. Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken filling is fully cooked. If you prefer, you can also use a rice cooker with a steaming function.
-
Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the siomay from the steamer. Garnish with grated carrot on top for added texture and color. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce (recipe for the dipping sauce will follow).
